[via PC World]: So you're designing a new product and you want to make sure you infuriate as many customers as possible. Be sure to do at least a few of the following things: ________________________________________________

Force us to reboot our systems any time we install or uninstall your product.

Automatically install into the Windows system tray and launch at startup.

Force us to read the manual just to figure out how to turn on the damned thing.

Tell potential/new users that if you are familiar with another program you'll have no problem using theirs, and then provide poor documentation and broken tutorials in the demo version, promising tons of great documentation and tutorials (that supposedly work) to users who buy the product, which the minimum cost is $100 but ranges up to $1250 depending on the license!
